About

AWARD WINNING VANCOUVER PLAYWRIGHTS COMPETE HEAD TO HEAD IN A LIVE ACTION WRITING CHALLENGE!

They have 1 hour to write a short script with subjects chosen by our very own audience, in the genre of speculative fiction. WHAT the F* is is speculative fiction? Narrative exploring real and important ideas about what is happening in the world right now, through an intelligent eye on the near future. Dystopian reality-esque. Examples: Black Mirror, 1984, the Handmaid’s Tale. Get it?

The playwrights write live at a table in front of the crowd, they have the option to use noise-canceling headphones. While they are writing, we will be running a SCI-FI TRIVIA competition and the bar will be open.
